KJT, thanks for adding this fun review of leading men. I think you succinctly highlighted the salient points of these leading men. The only thing I would add was * Criminal Minds – Kim Hyun Joon (Lee Joon Gi) – his athleticism enabled him to run like there was no tommorow…Run 🏃 Forrest-ERR Hyun Joon, Run 🏃❗ Didn’t you suggest a drinking 🍸 game for when LJG ran❓⁉️

I thought it was amazing Jang Hyuk had THREE drama roles last year. I wonder how many roles he will have this year.

If you had a “Would I Date Him” playoff with this list of characters, I would select Eugene Choi 🎖️ as the grand winner (although wouldn’t I REALLY be the grand prize winner) with a close runners up of Son Oh Gong 🐒 and Bong Sang Pil 💼👊. As much as I 💗 Jang Hyuk, his characters on this list had all kinds of red 🚨 flags screaming ✳️JUST SAY NO❗✳️ On the other hand, his Chil Seung 🕶️💛 character in “Wok of Love” was very sweet and dateable.

I agree with these rankings, except, I would give RainOppa more credit. He managed to be the typical cynical detective we expect in shows like this, yet he never condescends to his female partner. I agree the only problem is he’s emotionally unavailable and that’s also a plus as who would want a guy that could move on from his fiancé’s death immediately? His character is the full package and I hope for a Seaspn 2 when he’s might be ready for romance with his partner Lee Sun bin.
Btw, did you guys hear she’s dating Lee Kwang Soo, The Giraffe from Running Man?

I would give RainOppa more credit. He managed to be the typical cynical detective we expect in shows like this, yet he never condescends to his female partner.

I loved Rain AND the character Dong Soo too. I loved how he respected his finance and his partner. A male character that treats women as an equal is a delight in the kdrama landscape. It certainly scored Eugene Choi big points with me. He respected women and was a man before his time.
